Apparently Songtext
von J. Cole

Oh right, oh
Oh why na-da-da-da

I keep my head high
I got my wings to carry me
I don′t know freedom
I want my dreams to rescue me
I keep my faith strong
I ask the Lord to follow me
I've been unfaithful
I don′t know why you call on me


This is my canvas
I'ma paint it how I want it baby, oh I
This is my canvas
I'ma paint it, paint it, paint it, how I want it nigga
Fuck you ′cause there
There is no right or wrong
Only a song
I like to write alone
Be in my zone
Think back to Forest Hills, no perfect home

But the only thing like home I′ve ever known
Until they snatched it from my mama
And foreclosed her on the loan
I'm so sorry that I left you there to deal with that alone
I was up in New York City chasin′ panties, gettin' dome
Had no clue what you was goin′ through
How could you be so strong?

And how could I be so selfish, I know I can be so selfish
I could tell by how I treat you with my girl
Damn she so selfless, but she put up with my way
Because she loves me like you do
And though it do not always show
I love her just like I love you

And I need to treat you better
Wish you could live forever
So we could spend more time together
I love you mama


I keep my head high
I got my wings to carry me
I don't know freedom
I want my dreams to rescue me
I keep my faith strong
I ask the Lord to follow me
I′ve been unfaithful
I don't know why you call on me

Apparently, you believe in me
You believe in me

Apparently, you believe in me
And I thank you for it, oh, I

Another day another rhyme hoe
Another day another time zone
Today I woke up feelin' horny so it′s only right
I got two bitches playin′ on my trumbone
Keep up, never sure where the words would take me
Niggas eat 'em up, and regurgitate me
Shit jumped tight never slurred or lazy
Give a virgin the urge to rape me
Nigga please

Best friends really make great for enemies
My watch came niggas can′t wait for one of these
I see you nigga, this ain't no Rolex, it′s a AP nigga
I'm hot, dog, catch up to me nigga
Uh, couldn′t resist
Aimed for the stars and I shouldn't have missed
But I was ridin' on fumes so I stopped by the moon
Now I′m sittin′ on the hood of this bitch
Like thanks for the view

Waitin' on thanks from a few ′cause without me you wouldn't exist
You know that shit gave you the blueprint don′t forget
Cole is your phone on zero percent
Going off, now niggas showin' off

Niggas swear they hard but they flowin′ soft
I'm taking off like boing on a big ass Boeing
Gettin' head like a coin toss
Too easy

I keep my head high
I got my wings to carry me
I don′t know freedom
I want my dreams to rescue me
I keep my faith strong
I ask the Lord to follow me
I′ve been unfaithful
I don't know why you call on me

Apparently, you believe in me
You believe in me

Apparently, you believe in me
And I thank you for it, oh, I
